"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain menfrom injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government." (Thomas Jefferson)

"In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in
these

Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in
the

true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of
our teams."

Tonight Americans will be able to view the opening of the XXX Olympiad on NBC. Throughout the games you can log onto NBC to get the schedule events and watch them live on line.

A special "Good Luck" to our men's gymnastics team where we have five Oklahoma Sooners as part of the eight man team along with the coach of the Sooner Men's Gymnastics and to all the other Sooner athletes competing in track and field, wrestling and other sports not only for the USA but for other countries. The Olympics rowing team is now headquartered her at the Devon Boat House in the Bricktown area of Oklahoma City so will be following their events as well. USA basketball along with swimming events are always a favorite. Going to be a fun couple of weeks with plenty to watch on TV ending just in time for the Football season to begin.

This is a chance for America to showcase their Olympic team with athletes who have been training for this event for years. Let's get behind our team and put politics aside tonight as we watch the Opening Ceremonies viewing the athletes marching in representing their countries who are as proud of their athletes as we are of ours.

Good Luck to all participants and may the true spirit of athletic competition reign supreme!

Quotes

"We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law, no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society, but that can’t be an excuse for inaction. Surely we can do better than this." President Barack Obama, Newtown, CT, 12/16/2012

"I don't think that the way to correct a spin from the left is to try to impart a spin from the right.... [A]n information flow distorted from the right would be just as much a disservice as distortion from the left. What we really should be after... is accurate information. And I don't see what any conservative or anybody else for that matter has to fear from accurate information." M. Stanton Evans

Former Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY)

“For heaven’s sake, you have Grover Norquist wandering the earth in his white robes saying that if you raise taxes one penny, he’ll defeat you,” he told CNN back in May. “He can’t murder you. He can’t burn your house. The only thing he can do to you, as an elected official, is defeat you for reelection. And if that means more to you than your country when we need patriots to come out in a situation when we’re in extremity, you shouldn’t even be in Congress.”

John Stuart Mill was a 19th century political philosopher:

"I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it." John Stuart Mill.
